—“Stoicism has cleared my thinking dramatically. Its so naturally easy for us women to get sucked into our emotions and feminism has made it so we can’t be held accountable. So women are in the mind set that they can’t control their emotions, where stoicism teaches you that you can. I heard that Stoicism was the inspiration for Cognitive Behavior Therapy which is the same treatment they use for women with personality & identity crises. CBT is kind of like diluted small brain stoicism.”—Sarah Heard
Men can feel ‘lost’ without it. Women can feel victims of their emotions without it.

One response to “Stoicism Is Even More Important for Women than It Is for Men”
Very true. Sadly, the more Stoicism/CBT is needed in your life, the more counter intuitive it seems to you and the harder it is to embrace it. An anxious, overthinking person will have a very hard time taking the leap of faith into Stoic/CBT practice, but doing so is necessary.
